Moody blue snowflake - TSOT#680

Hi, and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.  

I used the shattered background stamp from SA and Tim Holtz to create the background for this.  I stamped in versamark onto watercolor paper and heat embossed with white embossing powder first.  Then I used Paynes Grey acrylic ink from Daler Rowney to get the dark moody blues.  The large snowflake is an old die from My Favorite Things.  Added a few clay snowflake shaker elements and called it good.

The snowflake is from my stash.

FOREVER - TSOT#679

Hi all! It's time for another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday. This one has a bit of a different spin to it.  We are looking for you to doodle anywhere on your project!!!

I actually doodled the flowers using a Zig Millennium pen.  I started with cutting out the postage stamp die from Gina K Designs and used it as a stencil to blend a light blue background using Oxide ink.  The sentiment is from Waffle Flower.

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  This week we have a photo prompt for you. 

I used dark blue paper in three shades behind the white leaf outline, but it's so hard to tell in the photo.  The sentiment is from The Stamp Market.  The leaf dies are from Gina K Designs.  I used three blue gems from Honey Bee Stamps in the middle of the leaves.  

Thanks for stopping by.

With Sympathy

Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this sympathy card.

The branch stamp is an old woodblock one from Memory Box.  I used Tombow markers to color the branch and leaves, and then huffed on it to reactivate the inks.  

The stitch dot dies are from Jillian Vance Designs, and the sympathy sentiment is from The Ton.

Thanks for stopping in.

Thinking of you

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today with this fall card.

The leaf die is from Simon Says Stamp.  I used old book pages to cut out several leaves.  Then, I proceeded to distress them using Ranger Distress inks.  The sentiment is from The Ton, and I added some clear dew drops for added interest.

It's a good day - TSOT#678

Hi, and welcome back to a new sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.

Ok - this one needs a bit of explaining.  The main panel of this card is made using a napkin and some plastic wrap.  You know the technique of ironing the napkins onto a piece of cardstock by melting plastic wrap between the two with an iron.  Yep, this is that technique.  I told you I'd made a few! ;-)

The label die is from Pretty Pink Posh, and the sentiment is from Sizzix stamps.  I have so many dragonfly dies in my stash that I cannot remember who makes them anymore.
